About the Foundation

The Beaufort County School District Foundation for Educational Excellence (www.foundationedexcellence.com) was established in 2007 to support student enrichment activities and projects that are beyond regular school budgets through Innovative Teacher Grants.

What kind of projects do Innovative Teacher Grants fund? They can be as diverse as providing monies to purchase books, CD players and CDs to help improve students' listening, fluency and comprehension or buying supplies to build a robot. An innovative grant can be more complex such as establishing an eco-habitat for native species. What all grants have in common is that they are the “extras” that spark inquisitive minds.

When and how are Innovative Teacher Grants awarded? The Foundation for Educational Excellence awards grants two times a year. Grant applications are due once in the fall and once in the winter. Contact Jackie Rosswurm (jmrhhi2@gmail.com) for specific deadlines..

How are moneys raised to fund these Teacher Grants? The Foundation for Educational Excellence Board holds an annual fundraiser each year. For information about this year's event and additional Foundation information please go to the Foundation's website at www.foundationedexcellence.com.
